More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The life of discipleship is not the hero-worship we would pay to a good master, but obedience to the Son of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every sermon must contain a certain shot of heresy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The right way to pray is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Advent creates people, new people.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Thus the call to follow Christ always means a call to share the work of forgiving men their sins. Forgiveness is the Christlike suffering which it is the Christian's duty to bear.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The time is short. Eternity is long. It is the time of decision.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We are so afraid of silence that we chase ourselves from one event to the next in order not to have to spend a moment alone with ourselves, in order not to have to look at ourselves in the mirror.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The early morning belongs to the Church of the risen Christ. At the break of light it remembers the morning on which death and sin lay prostrate in defeat and new life and salvation were given to mankind
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is the fellowship of the Cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murderer, a praying prostitute, than a vain person praying. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray. The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God has willed that we should seek and find God's living Word in the testimony of other Christians, in the mouths of human beings.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is from God that parents receive their children, and it is to God that they should lead them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The wars of Israel were the only 'holy wars' in history... there can be no more wars of faith. The only way to overcome our enemy is by loving him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sometimes we just need a firm kick in the pants. An unsmiling expectation that if we mean all these wonderful things we talk about and sing about, then let’s see something to prove it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.
